What people call "a good deal"

[PixelHosting]

Hello everyone,

I'm making this thread because I would like to warn everyone who is making hosting requests here. Alot of people here are only looking at the hosting resources (diskspace and bandwidth) divided by the monthly price. If that ratio looks good, they call it "a good deal". What you also see here is stories about "bad hosts" with "bad customer support" and "I've only had bad experience with hosts". Coincidence? No imho. If you are looking for the cheapest of the cheapest and even so cheap that you wonder "how do they make profit", then don't expect the best connection and the best customer support.

So what I'm trying to say: People, don't only look at the resources/price, or the chance that you'll get "bad experiences with hosts" will be high.

I think a sticky thread with a "How to choose a good host" guide would be good here :wink2:

Well, that's all I have to say, I hope you understand my point here.

Thank you,
S. Van Baelen

You know.. You are absolutely right. If you want the cheapest host your not going to get exactly the best service and support out there. Don't expect everything so cheap that its unbelievable. For a good host with top notch service and support it all adds up in money. TO be able to provide a low price you must understand we work very hard.

You get what you pay for.

If your unsure about a webhosting company but the prices and everything looks great. Make sure you ask some people who have been there. Get a feel for that company.

I know at PremiumHosted we specialize in cheap affordable hosting with prompt service and top notch support.

That is something we strive to.

Thats a very good idea to add a guide. I bet it would help out many people with choosing a web host thats right for them.
